ASTRID felt his heart skip hearing those words. The way Wulfric said it, so sincere and without any hint of hesitation, caught him off guard. With his cheeks warming, he still looked at Wulfric with a pointed expression. "Don't think you're getting off the hook just because you said something romantic. You still need to call Leland."
Wulfric gave him a sheepish smile, the kind that made him look like a charming boy next door. "And here I thought I could charm my way out of it."
Astrid let out a small laugh, finding Wulfric oddly adorable. He reached up and pinched his cheek. "Go on. Call him now, Wulf."
"Yeah, yeah, I will," Wulfric said. Then, before Aster could say another word, he leaned in and pressed a quick kiss to his lips. He pulled back with a grin, and when Aster blinked in surprise, Wulfric found the look on his face so adorable that he almost wanted to kiss him again. But he stopped himself and just opened his Terminal and called Leland.
